Preheat oven to 375. Cream together the butter and sugars. Beat in vanilla and then the eggs one at a time. Measure then sift flour, baking soda, salt and beat into creamed mixture. Stir in nuts and chocolate chips. Drop by teaspoon onto baking sheet and bake 8 minutes. Makes 4 dozen cookies or so. So, if you donât need that much, then you can halve the portions.

Tip â For a thicker cookie, simply chill the dough overnight and it will come out a bit thicker than room temperature dough. If you want caramel, you can cut up pieces of caramels and place in the batch.
